On the 20th of July, 1944, Claus von Stauffenberg planted a briefcase filled with explosives in the Wolf's Lair. The bomb didn't kill Hitler, but Wehrmacht forces successfully captured him and many others who were injured by the blast. As this happened, Wehrmacht forces began rising up across cities in Germany, ordering strikes to counter the war effort and arresting Hitler loyalists. The coup was considered successful on the 19th August. Von Stauffenberg was sworn in as provisional Fuhrer of Germany, with allied and Soviet forces marching in, he met with allied representatives to negotiate a ceasefire, involving German troops pulling out of the Low Countries, France, Denmark and Norway. This ceasefire was accepted, as plans for a meeting between the Allied Forces, the Soviet Union and Germany to negotiate the terms of surrender were put into place. On the 15th of October 1944, Germany formally surrendered, renouncing most of the territory she had captured in the war. Germany remained in control of the Danzig Corridor, East Prussia, Austria, Slovenia and the Sudetenland, everything else reverted to pre-war borders. Chancellor von Stauffenberg, General Secretary Stalin, President Roosevelt, Chairman de Gaulle and Prime Minister Churchill declared Pax Europaea, however the five of them knew in secret, a third war was on the horizon. The Untied States dropped the first atomic bomb on Japan on Christmas Day 1945, levelling Hiroshima, Nagasaki and Tokyo. On New Years Day 1945, Adolf Hitler, Heinrich Himmler, Rudolf Hess, Joseph Goebbels and many other leading NSDAP and SS officials were executed by firing squad. 1945 was to begin a new age of peace. By 1950, this age of peace had ended. Tensions were rising between the Moscow Pact (USSR and allies), the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (the Allies), and the Montreux Conference (Germany and her allies). The world was entering a new decade, one of turbulence, but also of peace. There was little chance war would break out within the next few years, as nations from around the world continued to rebuild from the devastation caused by the Second Great War.Predetermined Territory Summary

Just reminding you guys to not let those Forum 7 threads stray into C/CLT territory. I haven't been the best about that either, but if this keeps up the moderators might not be keen on lifting the moratorium.

If peace, prosperity, and knowledge are the goal of humanity, which I firmly believe, then human nature is the steel gate or the mountain in our path. We need the key of tolerance and discussion to enter, for no power on heaven or earth can sweep aside this nature of ours.

Four things about my Holy Indian Empire1. In this RP, New Delhi is the planned capital of India if Delhi were to be destroyed or abandoned in the future.2. The Supreme Teacher is both a high-ranked Brahmin and the head of government. He is a religious leader who heads the Hindu faith and tends to be like the Holy Indian version of the Supreme Leader in Iran. He leads the Brahmin caste and is elected by a Council of Brahmins, a council made for the Brahmin caste. He also appoints the new Holy Indian Emperor.3. The Holy Indian Emperor is both an elected monarch and the head of state. He is technically appointed by the Supreme Teacher, but can be elected through an election or a duel. He is a ceremonial figure, but tends to rule India while serving the Supreme Teacher.4. The Holy Indian Martial Forces are the military of India. They are called so because the Holy Indian Empire is an expansionist state in southern Asia.

If peace, prosperity, and knowledge are the goal of humanity, which I firmly believe, then human nature is the steel gate or the mountain in our path. We need the key of tolerance and discussion to enter, for no power on heaven or earth can sweep aside this nature of ours.
